Good if pointless fun
masonsaul5 March 2022
Catwoman: Hunted is kinda pointless since it lacks any major characters arcs, twists or real narrative but it's a good animated movie that's fast paced enough to be simple and energetic fun.

Elizabeth Gillies gives a really good lead performance and certainly has the charm and energy necessary to play Catwoman. She has solid chemistry with Stephanie Beatriz, who is an effectively cold Batwoman.

The anime influence in the animation definitely helps it standout amongst a increasingly crowded set of films. The music by Robert J. Kral is a mixed bag with some of it being way too much but other parts fitting the scene rather well.

Catwoman crashes the party to get a jewel!
blanbrn15 March 2022
This 2022 "D. C." animated movie "Catwoman: Hunted" is pretty interesting and entertaining with action, fun, and drama, as it twist which is typical of all "D. C." works. Selina Kyle aka "Catwoman" puts it all on the line even all of her 9 lives for the chance to get a jewel(an emerald). However on the international journey is "Batwoman" and "Interpol" trying to chase and spoil in a wicked cat and mouse game that features assassins, and "Leviathan". Thru it all it's like the ladies the bat and cat work together against the other bad guys. Overall okay animated movie in which the cat prowls and struts her stuff!

Cat burglar
MB-reviewer1858 February 2022
Catwoman is a favorite of mine when it comes to Batman villains. So, I was interested in this movie, especially with this having an anime inspired style of animation.

Catwoman: Hunted was a pretty good Catwoman animated movie with some things I noticed that was a slight issue and things I liked throughout.

I liked Catwoman/Selina Kyle and how she looked in the animation style. Batwoman/Kate Kane was good and she also looked good in the animation style.

The action scenes are cool and fast moving, but they can be too fast moving to see. Only a little bit though.

Black Mask/ Roman Sionis is in this, but he isn't in most of the movie and only in small scenes. It was a little disappointing when this happened to a cool famous Batman villain.

Some of the villains fighting Catwoman were weird but interesting. The 3rd act final fight was quick but cool, mostly because it's fun seeing Catwoman fight.

The background music is nice to listen to when the action scenes play out, and it sounded like an old anime from the 70's.

Overall, I had some fun with this animated movie and Catwoman was fun watching. I would watch it if you are interested in this kind of movie and like this DC character.

This was good
fluffchop25 March 2022
Good music, good voices, well animated. I don't usually watch things like this (animated) but I enjoyed it. It reminded me of Archer which is something I did watch that was animated. I enjoyed it.

A really fun, well made Catwoman action film!
AhmedDaReviewer8 February 2022
Not gonna lie, I didn't really know how to feel about this movie when it first got announced, I was just kind of happy that Catwoman will finally get a new solo movie, Like seriously, when was the last we got a GOOD solo Catwoman movie for crying out loud, Firstly, we got the hilariously awful 2004 live-action Catwoman movie and then we got a 2D animated Catwoman showcase a couple of years ago, and that was kind of it..

So I was pretty excited for the movie and thankfully it didn't disappoint, This movie was so much fun, Even though the was basically 80% action and 20% Catwoman messing with Batwoman, I still had a lot of fun with it!

Catwoman attends a Masquerade party with Black Mask, Of course, Catwoman being Catwoman, she wandered on her own to go and steal the green priceless diamond that is locked behind a giant bank safe, As I said, this movie doesn't really have that much of a story, It's more an action movie more than anything and thankfully, the action is great!

The animation is pretty great too, except some animation looking a bit goofy here and there and CGI cars looking a bit outdated, I think this art style really fits Catwoman's character, The producers said that the biggest inspiration for this movie was "Lupin III" and I could totally see that!

The jazzy smooth score is really good too, The voice cast is really good too, and the fact that Batwoman is voiced by the same chick who voiced Mirabel in Disney's Encanto is just incredible!

Of course I have some complaints like how the movie introduces like 8 characters and doesn't really do that much with them, I guess I shouldn't blame the movie is only 1 hour and 18 minutes, so I guess they didn't really had that much to work with, but still even with that, I still think that Catwoman: Hunted is really fun, charming colorful action flick!

And I already know a lot of Batman fans won't like this movie because it's not dark and gritty and suspenseful like other animated DC movies, but hey, having a little bit of fun won't kill anyone right, Not every Batwoman related thing has to be The Dark Knight trilogy, Live a little :)

Identity crisis
Nob0dy23 February 2022
Unfortunately the streak of dc churning out bad animated movies continues, seems like they have long lost the quality they use to be known for.

The problem with this movie is that it does not know what it wants to be. I wont give specific spoilers but basically watching this movie is like watching 3 completely seperate movies with completely seperate tones that have been poorly edited together.

Movie 1: One minute you will be watching a pseudo-stealth scene with overly overenthusiastic jazz blaring as the movie tries to pass itself off as an animated james bond/mission impossible/man from uncle type of vibe.

Movie 2: Then it will suddenly be very very very childish and the action will have worse planning and animation than something like totally spies if anyone remembers that. The "choreography" makes no sense, there will be items/bullets that clearly just phase through characters.

Movie 3: Then despite all the childishness every single character in this movie, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, species, every breathing being in this movie gets all hot and flustered and falls completely under catwomans control because apparently every syllable out of her mouth is an innuendo?

So there you have it, I am aware she is supposed to be a manipulative character, that she uses her appeal to her advantage but its just so poorly done, she seduces hardened mass murdering gangsters by making 1 passing comment about a "pinch", its so poorly written and since the tone is often about as childish as the teletubbies it makes for a very jarring and very weird watch. It is like DC/WB had a few ideas for potential catwoman movies but couldnt decide which one to fund so they just lazily mashed them all together. What we are left with is an action movie with some of the most tame and poorly done action sequences in DC's history, a heist movie with no tension, no stakes , no build up and no pay off and a childrens movie that has every other character constantly getting aroused and flustered just by being within 10 feet of catwoman.

It really is a shame because DC have a million movies about heroes and they have a handful about villians and 1 or 2 about anti heroes, so making one about a character who operates in more of a grey area could have been a nice change of pace. Unfortunately this is simply a mess.

Better Than 2004 Live-Action Film
BatBanks2 March 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Catwoman/Selina Kyle (voiced by Elizabeth Gillies (Jade in Victorious & Dynasty reboot)) steal a priceless jewel but end up caught up with Batwoman and two agents when organized crime are going after her and they want her to help them to bring down Black Mask & Barbara Minerva aka Cheetah.

The film is entertaining, fun and campy. Elizabeth Gillies is the best voice and right choice of Catwoman. She has the attitude, the flirting and seductive nature that she acts like a real cat. Black Mask and Cheetah are the two main villains of the story. Black Mask in this portrayal as bit sleazy. Cheetah is more vicious and sophisticate, but she's better portrayed than her live-action counterpart from the awful Wonder Woman sequel. I prefer this Cheetah and the one in Justice League series from Cartoon Network. I agree the villains should have more screentime. Other DC characters are Julia Pennyworth (Alfred's daughter), Tobias Whale (voice by Keith David), Cheshire, Solomon Grundy and Talia Al Ghul.

I recently find out it was screenplay by Greg Weissman who made Disney's Gargoyles & Young Justice. They have fun action sequences with car chases, Catwoman & Batwoman Vs. Cheshire & Nosfertu, The Cat & The Bat Vs. League of Assassins & Catwoman Vs. Cheetah. I like the jazz score plays in; it suits Catwoman style.

My two problems with this movie; 1.) It not long it 79 minutes it should've been two hours long. 2.) I didn't like how it was anime-style (Cowboy Bebop) I prefer they stay with their original animation.

My final verdict is for fans who are Batman or Catwoman fans. It is entertaining but not good just mediocre. It worth watching and if you want to watch Batman: Year One, The Dark Knight Rises, Batman: Soul of the Dragon & The Long Halloween this is the movie for this type of story.

IGN NEEDS TO SHUT DOWN
justinrrubin9 February 2022
IGN really gave this movie a 9/10. I'm 25 minutes in and all that has happened is Catwoman stole a jewel which led to a car chase. That is literally the only plot that has happened 1/3 of the way into the movie. Aside from that the dialogue is cringe and atrocious, the voice acting is subpar and the anime look is just used as a cheap gimmick. I am fine with a female led movie or show if the story is good but I know for a fact IGN would have given this a 9/10 no matter what just because it's a female led DC animation film. Who cares if the content is absolute trash right? They even went so far as to say in their review that this is "one of the best DC animated films yet". Lmfao. So apparently, according to IGN, this ranks with Dark Knight Returns, Flashpoint Paradox, Apokolips War, Death/Reign of Superman, Under The Red Hood. I seriously think this might rank at the bottom of my list and I'm only 25 minutes in. Just stop reviewing media IGN cause nobody can take you seriously especially after this. I don't even know if I'm gonna finish watching this movie but it's so bad, bland and boring that I had to pause it to give this review. I only gave it a 2nd star cause Selina's cat partner is cute.

Surprisingly funny, and intense! Really should watch it! Well done!
kwenchow8 February 2022
Warning: Spoilers
This film start with a bunch of people arrive at the masquerade party, and a man mocking a woman dress like Catwoman scene! As turnout, this film is about Catwoman need to team up with Batwoman to capture a villain "Minerva", in order to discharge all her conviction! Entire film full of quite intense action scene! Such as, bloody stabbing, shooting, punching, kicking, whiplashing, explosion, car chase, car crash, electrocution, and things broken scene! Make the film quite watchable! At the end, Minerva been killed, and Catwoman repossessed her emerald! That's it! A quite entertain film!

Meh, But I'll Take It Over The 2004 Abomination
jeremycrimsonfox9 February 2022
Catwoman: Hunted is the latest film starring the cat burglar from Batman's rogues gallery, and it has the character in an anime style adventure. After a heist in Spain gets Catwoman into a chase by Black Mask's gang, Selina Kyle, a.k.a. Catwoman, is taken into the custody by Batwoman, who is working with Interpol to bust the criminal organization, Leviathan. Now in Shanghai, Catwoman takes a deal to help Interpol in exchange for erasing the arrest warrants against her, by serving as a distraction while Batwoman takes out the villains.

For a new Catwoman movie, I find it as meh. The anime style looks good (even if it looks like something out of anime-like cartoons like Totally Spies), and is done by Japanese animators. The story is written by Greg Weisman, who is best known for writing legendary cartoons such as the first two seasons of Gargoyles. It's okay, but not on par with his past works, as the story has Catwoman flirting with Batwoman in certain scenes, and you can tell he injected some Gargoyles designs in one of the villains, Nosferata (who looks like Demona if she was injected with the serum that turns Kirk Langstrom into Man-Bat, and Tobias Whale is voiced by Keith David, whom 90's kids will remember as the voice of Goliath, one of Gargoyle's primary protagonists). Also, it's a little on the short side, being only 79 minutes long. It's a meh movie, but I will gladly take this over the 2004 Catwoman movie.

Picked this up when I saw Greg Weisman's name
kenyuen112 February 2022
I don't usually watch DC movies, but had to check this out when I saw the creator of Gargoyles and contributor to Star Wars Rebels' name on this. I thought the movie was a lot of fun with great banter between characters. Was also looking forward to a lot of performances from these actors. My only nitpick is the opening heist takes too long. The strength of the movie is the characters when they're interacting and verbally sparring.

A surprise, to be sure, but a welcome one
charnelx9 February 2022
An enjoyable self contained story that still hints at a wider world. Mostly down to earth action oriented cohesive plot with believable motivation. I know it does not sound like much but its more than most movies have delivered in recent history.

The voice Elizabeth Gillies used was like honey.

Catwoman was balanced and playful. Batwoman was softer than in her previous screen appearances. Both were a delight.

It has been a long while since I so fully enjoyed a DC movie. I defiantly enjoyed it a lot more than Justice Society: World War II or their attempts at adapting big name stories like injustice or superman red son,etc.

The only minor thing I would say slightly detracted from the movie is the number of villains, particularly the presence of one near the final fight felt unnecessary. While I greatly enjoyed the fight sequence itself, I felt the same could have been accomplished by simply having the final antagonist do those actions.

Not a fan of the Manga art
robnero10 February 2022
Though I enjoyed the story and the voice actors. For me,much of it was undermined by the Manga styled art. It made everything seem too obvious and "cutesy". Some serious and snarky moments were lost to the oversized doll eyes. Not to mention what it made sexy-flirt moments look like. I'm at a loss for who the target audience was to be. Teens may totally be into it I guess. There's plenty of Manga fantasy abounding for such titillation. I did enjoy the voice actors though.

Four-cheese pizza with some cat hair.
rustemkhafizov8 February 2022
Warning: Spoilers
There are a lot of things I like about this movie - the anime-inspired art style, some of the action scenes, and the abundance of a certain black cat. Yes, I love Isis! ^_^ (whoa, that probably sounds weird out of context O_o)

But, the issues of this movie are way more numerous, mostly having to do with how cheesy everything is - the tone, the writing, the dialogue, and some of the characters. I mean, Catwoman pretty much speaks exclusively in bad puns and one-liners (the kind that feel cliché and lazy rather than fun). I think a lot of this is intentional as the movie is clearly trying to go for an over-the-top, B-movie spy flick feel, but there is such a thing as going to far into a certain tonal direction, to the point where the movie just becomes what it tries to parody.

Another weird thing is the pacing where the most elaborate action scene in the film (and the one that feels very final) happens in the middle of the movie, and then, for whatever reason, it was really important for the characters to go from Shanghai to Paris and have a less finale-feeling action scene there. Was the change in location really that necessary? It didn't really affect the dynamic of the action scene; it just feels unnecessary.

Nonetheless, I do like this mix of western and eastern styles of animation, and DC was clearly trying something new here, which is commendable. I do hope that they try something like this again, but this particular attempt did not turn out well.

Not Expected
PhoenixWatches22 September 2022
The first thing I noticed was the animation- not what I expected but not bad. Some of the vehicles looked a bit bizarre against the beautifully detailed backgrounds and sometimes flat characters.

It was cool to see a wide range of characters that I don't often see represented in tv and movies. They were introduced well so even if you don't recognize them or know their background, you can understand their character.

It was weird how often Catwoman talked to no one. I guess it's for the viewer benefit, but I prefer a more silent Catwoman. Just so many quips and useless comments. I liked Batwoman though, Stephanie Beatriz did a great job.

Voice acting and homage to " anime" was decent.
joykone213 May 2022
People whine too much and want to be professional critics so bad. Even though the observations and comments are pretty accurate at the end of the day this is entertainment it's a business and you have to fulfill the needs of the audience , production companies and etc.

I just want to say to the whining ass critics who are like shut it down, be careful what you wish for. And I don't see you producing an animated show, there's a lot that goes into these movies and plenty of expectations coming from several parties. Just take the art for what it is and keep it moving but to sound so bitter is off-putting.

But in the future I wouldn't mind experiencing a more mature and developing storyline with Nightwing or the bat family, blue beetle or cyborg for a DC Animated Film.

Are you serious?
rodneyn058 February 2022
I'm not sure who this movie is aimed at. Teens? Maybe, however, it's a bit too gory for the younger audience. Young adults? It's been a while since I've been one of those, so possibly. Fans of animation ? DC Fans ? Hell, no.

This movie has all the issues of a modern female driven agenda with none of the fun, excitement, glitz or glamour, and certainly none of the charm that it should bring.

What we do get, is some good animation, with a passable voice acting, and one of the poorest plots to come out of the minds of the DC Universe.

Catwoman (Selina Kyle) is caught stealing a jewel by Batwoman, because... And of course, Batwoman gives Catwoman the option to help them take down a crime syndicate, because... There are really bad car chase sequences, even worse fight scenes, some of Batman's enemies are thrown in for good measure, which of course, both Batwoman and Catwoman manage to dispatch with relative ease. And, then there are the usual trope of evil white men (thanks Harvey) for the women to beat up. And lets not forget the female to female sexual tension and innuendo. Gotta be inclusive to make that 3% feel good.

The story line is contrived and simple. The animation is good, the 'physics' is horrible, with both Batwoman and Catwoman doing things that just aren't possible. And yes, I'm well aware this is animation, but at least don't have people defy gravity.

All in all, it's a movie that doesn't know who it's meant to be aimed at, and wanders and meanders through a muddled simple plot.

4 for the animation, 0 for the plot.

The Cat And Le Femme Bat Take On Leviathan In An Entertaining Animated Picture. 1-2-Watch For DC Fans.
P3n-E-W1s311 August 2022
Greetings And Salutations, and welcome to my review of Catwoman: Hunted; here's the breakdown of my ratings:

Story: 1.50 Direction: 1.50 Pace: 1.25 Acting: 1.00 Enjoyment: 1.25

TOTAL: 6.50 out of 10.00

As with most current DC movies, Live-CGI-Action and Animation, there are good and bad factors. And luckily, the DC Animation Universe is still the better of the two, with fewer terrible elements. Though, there is still some in evidence.

One of the best components of Catwoman: Hunted is the storyline. What I liked about Graig Weisman's tale was its construction. At the start, we see Catwoman back to her usual cat-burglar self and on the prowl to nab an emerald. For her audacious plan to work, she disguises herself as Catwoman - the Classic Catwoman - and infiltrates a fancy-dress party of criminals by hooking up with the Black Mask's posse. However, during her escape, she's nabbed by the Batwoman, who offers her a stay-out-of-prison job. Help her and the authorities catch and stop Leviathan, and she goes free. But there are more twists and turns to come; and an ending that will have you believe that some of The Bat is rubbing off on The Cat. Now, that alone would've been excellent, but sadly, poor old Weisman drew the LBGT diversity card. Now I am not opposed to having a strong female-strong cast, or for those female characters to have some sexual chemistry. However, I dislike that it feels forced, as though DC had to hit their LBGT Diversity KPIs this quarter, and they missed out with Green Lantern: Beware My Power. Another letdown was Batwoman herself. Instead of coming across as a single-minded, driven, and ambitious ex-army-soldier, she's more like a whiney teenager. What the hell? As I always say when I write a DC movie review - Come on, guys and gals, stop messing about with a character's essential persona. It's what makes them who they are.

Shinsuke Terasawa gives the audience a thrilling and engaging rendition of the story. For one, I loved the manga-style animation. It has more softness than the usual jagged artwork of DC Animation and was a refreshing change. Even the CGI sequences worked. I especially admired the opening sequence as we drive past mist-enshrouded trees. It has a mystical and ethereal atmosphere to it. Another segment I relished was the opening credits. This inception is rendered in a completely different style from the movie. The jazz soundtrack accentuates the artwork superbly. It is one of the best openings I've seen in an animated picture.

The cast is okay. I would say that most lacked oomph in their vocal performances; even the likes of Jonathan Frakes, Keith David, and Kelly Hu came across as puny. The worst, by far, was Stephanie Beatriz as Batwoman. Though as I stated above, the writer got the character completely wrong. But Beatriz's teenage whining didn't make the film any the more enjoyable.

All in all, Catwoman: Hunted is a decent movie, and anyone who enjoys the DC Universe will enjoy this tidbit. I would happily recommend it to all Superhero fans and newbies alike. It's well worth one or more viewings.

Step away from Penguin's safe: It's time for you to check out my Holding Out For A Hero, Obsidian Dreams, and The Final Frontier lists to see where I ranked Catwoman: Hunted.

Take Care & Stay Well.

Awfully written stuff from a company that since Gotham By Gaslight lost all its touches in the animation department
TooKakkoiiforYou_3218 February 2022
Greg Weisman should just retire for good if this is what he has to offer. And NO, it has nothing to do with a non-existant female agency or whatever stupid reason the ultratoxic men in the internet comments can find (I'm just so tired of those, can't they disappear forever for christ's sake?!) but all to do with the hamfisted writing, the cringey non-humorous humour and the boring fight scenes. On the technical level, the style is a nice nod to animes but my problem is that I sincerely don't understand this need for american multinational corporations to cannibalize japanese animes in the hope that lovers of them eat up their products not noticing the faults in the writing department, it's simply idiotic. Netflix does that, WB does that, what's the point? Provided there's plenty of crappy japanese-made animes out there, so by cannibalizing them you're not making your stuff better. And don't get me the "But AniM3s StArTed CopYinG DiSney!11!111" BS, who started japanese animes was influenced by western animation but studios and creators moved out of that and made their own thing. This is simply ridicolous in all manners. On an ending note, I could not even finish this thing for how much bored I was by the fight scenes, so it's a NO, even with the woman voicing Catwoman doing a fine job with her role. Search for something else with her in it and move along, it's not worth your time.

P. S. For whoever think this is an anime, THIS IS NOT AN ANIME. This is a western production trying to pass itself as an anime for marketing reasons, but it not an anime. One of the key animators of Magic Knight Rayearth directing it or not, it is still 100% a western production.

Great Music and Animation, but that's it
jlgprimus8 June 2022
The writing felt all over the place, lacks any twists or turns and just plays out in a very generic and formulaic way. No character arcs or anything of the sort to be found here, which is disappointing.

When I heard Yutaka Yamada was composing the score for this, I was really expecting this movie to go all in on a thrilling and unpredictable heist story along the lines of Great Pretender (which Yamada also did the score for) so this being the end result ended up being very disappointing for me.

Fans would probably appreciate this...
paul_haakonsen10 February 2022
When I sat down to watch the 2022 DC animated movie "Catwoman: Hunted", I have to admit that I didn't realize that it was going to be an Anime-inspired presentation of the DC characters. And had I known that, I might actually not have sat down to watch this DC animated movie from writer Greg Weisman and director Shinsuke Terasawa. Anime is good for Japanese animation, not for something as prominent as established DC characters.

But I opted to stick with watching it, now that I had already embarked upon watching it. But I have to say that I was only mildly entertained. Writer Greg Weisman didn't really deliver a wholesome storyline here. The story felt a bit inconsistent and took the viewers from one location to the next without letting the viewers delve much into the events that transpired in one place before moving on to the next. And when the "Robotech" armored people and strange mutants showed up, then the movie just dropped to an all-time low.

Sure, the animation was smooth and good in "Catwoman: Hunted", but the art style itself just conflicted with the expectations I had of watching something from DC. So that definitely took away from the overall enjoyment for me.

It should be noted, though, that the voice cast ensemble for "Catwoman: Hunted" was rather good. There were some rather good talents and unique voices in the movie to bring the characters to life, with the likes of Lauren Cohen, Kelly Hu, Keith David, Jonathan Frakes and Jonathan Banks. So they definitely had put together a talented group of voice actors for this 2022 DC animated movie.

Ultimately, then I will not say that I was impressed with "Catwoman: Hunted", much less overly entertained. It was watchable, sure, but that was also about it. And this is definitely not an animated movie that I will be returning to watch a second time.

My rating of "Catwoman: Hunted" lands on a four out of ten stars.

Only grumpy Batman fanboys/fangirls are going to dislike this movie
anshikabisht-640628 April 2022
Would you complain if Batman was on a one-mission-only to run down a crime "cooperation"? I understand how people love connections and sequels but stand alones are equally amazing.

Do you like action, especially accurate MMA fights ?

Do you like badass women ?

If yes then you're gonna love this movie.

The movie is Selina Kyle through and through.

*People expect Batman around or some kind of major connection to other Batman movies and that is why this movie has gotten bad reviews from viewers.*

If shown to a non-DC fan the movie is perfect with its action packed scenes, interesting story line and amazing twists !

As a DC fan you are gonna love the little connections to other DC characters and precise origin reminders.

Before the first scene, the artsy intro/credits part being the "setback of Sochi" was praiseworthy in itself.

The movie is a little slow only in the first scene and otherwise a very fast paced movie. You'll be overwhelmed by one good to another spectacular fight one after another.

The movie shows that DC women do not need men to their rescue and shows how the villains proceed with their lives when not facing their arch nemesis.

The movie comes like a natural anime too and dubbing is just like the usual anime dubs are. As an anime enthusiast I can swear on it.

The music is good. The cat puns are redundant but the action scenes are extra awesome too.

Selina was played purr-fectly ;)

The movie does justice to so many characters, especially to women of DC.

If a person doesn't like it then their loss 'because DC has decided to give women the coverage time and attention they deserve. Grow up people, Batwoman and Selina did exactly what you'd see Batman or some other male hero doing, trampling over a Crime Syndicate for vacation.

I had a good time
agn-1047511 August 2022
I think it's a very good movie. Story is solid, nothing too deep. Good action. Good humor. Good animation. The banter between Selina and Kate is really entertaining. The villains are meh... Still, I would recommend it.

I hope it gets a sequel.

Misses it's target audience
sharpcourse8 February 2022
Going into this, I wondered what a stand-alone Catwoman movie would look like and here u have Catwoman: Hunted.

It took a while personally, to recognise the animation style for this cartoon. It didn't look good at first where the characters' anatomy were not seamless but it got better and after seeing that it's anime, it became more appreciable. It seemed to work well for the action scenes but a huge problem with that is the way the manoeuvres were handled. All laws of physics were broken, taking suspension of belief to a new level.

The voice acting is not among the best we have seen but it's one you can get by with. That being said, what killed the dialogue was the cringe worthy humour. At first, one would think that the light tone and humour meant that it was targeted at kids or very young teens. The first quarter also seemed to deliberate dodge any gory displays as well. But as the movie progressed the directors seemed to forget their layout altogether and just deliver one gruesome shot after another. Back to the dialogue and banter, I couldn't believe what I was hearing but as it went on, I found myself laughing at the movie's ridiculous attempt at any form of humour. Whenever the actress voicing Catwoman/Selina Kyle was delivering her lines, the sentences seemed to drag as if to patronize the viewer. Cheesy one liners were thrown back and forth and yet, some phrases still managed to be in-audible.

It's a movie with quite a simple plot, lots of female characters and a welcome agenda against human trafficking, "young girls" as expressly stated by Catwoman at a point.

Still it doesn't know who it's meant to be aimed at.

Nothing we really have to seen before and stretched out A bit too thin with too much talking.

Was cool to see Cheshire in it though and with the same voice actress.
